100% of Customer Bitcoins Stored in Offline Cold Wallets

We don't take chances with the security of our customers' funds. This is why we only use offline cold wallets to store customer bitcoins. As an added layer of protection, our cold wallets are secured with multi-key encryption.

Background Checks

As part of our proactive security measures, we've initiated the itBit Bug Bounty Program. The program rewards participants for the responsible disclosure of bugs and discrepancies on our website. We invite you to help us keep our platform safe for all itBit customers.

Bitcoin trading involves a high degree of risk. The bitcoin market is new and unproven and may
not grow. Currently, there is relatively small use of bitcoin in the retail and commercial
marketplace in comparison to relatively large use by speculators, thus contributing to
price volatility that could adversely affect an investment in bitcoin. In order to
participate in the trading of bitcoin, you should be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the investment and be able to bear the economic risk of
losing your entire investment. No material at this site should be considered
as an offer by itBit to sell or solicitation by itBit of any offer to buy bitcoin.
